Beausite Zermatt is a newly revamped historic hotel (originally 1907) now shining as a 4★ superior boutique retreat. Perched slightly above the village (Brunnmattgasse 9), it offers some of Zermatt’s best Matterhorn views right from its rooms and infinity outdoor pool. The design marries alpine tradition with British flair – think cozy wood paneling alongside contemporary furnishings and playful “Golden Age of alpinism” decor touches.

Amenities include a spa with indoor pool and panoramic heated outdoor pool facing the Matterhorn, multiple restaurants (from fine grill to casual fondue hut), and a stylish bar. Prices: Standard rooms from around CHF 350 in low season; higher in peak. Rates include a lavish breakfast buffet.

Getting There: 10-minute walk from Zermatt train station (or 3 minutes by electric taxi). By car, park in Täsch and train to Zermatt.

Seasonality: Open in both winter and summer seasons; closed during shoulder periods (roughly early Nov and late Apr–mid Jun).

Practical tips: The hotel offers porter service from the train on request. Its hillside position means superior views but also a short uphill stroll – consider asking for a pick-up if you have heavy luggage. Don’t miss their afternoon tea on the terrace or the free soft drinks in minibar perk for direct bookings.
